zoux posted:No, you are correct. The problem is the WH correspondents are omitting the ‘present himself as’ part for clicks because they want this narrative. There are plenty of concrete examples of memory lapses presented in the docs--he wasn't able to nail down when his son died, when he was vice-president, confused allies for rivals. It's more than just a removal of context. It lists out several lapses the investigators observed.

That episode always bugged me for multiple reasons, but in particular that the presence of fake money in the amount Joker inherited would have reduced his taxable income (and also possibly shifted liability).

We should stop talking about comics and start talking about what countries are relatively easy to emigrate to now that Trump is going to win in a landslide and I doubt most of us like the idea of living in Nazi Germany. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

To be fair, the party is much more in his grip than it was in 2016. They have much more of an idea of how far their voter base will let them go before finding the erosion of mores and civil rights unacceptable.

And have you not seen Project 2025 and the countless reports about what Trump plans to do in office? Those things don’t support the claims you stated. If we had polling data with Trump up over Biden by 30+ points, then I would concede that a landslide is possible. For your second point, Trump wanted to do a lot of things during his first presidency, but was stopped by his staff, congress (including his own party members), and SCOTUS. I’ve yet to see why that wouldn’t happen again

I agree trump is going to turn the fascist dial up to 11 if he wins, but merely possessing classified docs isn't a big deal and not what Trump is in trouble for.

I would wait until Republicans start winning elections before I made my plans to leave the country. There are lots of elections between now and November and if Trump is going to win in a landslide, Republicans will probably overperform in some of them.

It's what a big chunk of the media is reporting, irresponsibly, and it's almost certainly what the report writer wanted to imply, but they mostly aren't prosecuting because the evidence was insufficient. The line going around, usually conveniently cropped, is that a(n alleged) secondary concern is that he would successfully persuade a jury that he was a kindly forgetful old man, and that would impact the chances of conviction, which makes prosecutors sad.

And have you not seen Project 2025 and the countless reports about what Trump plans to do in office? You're catastrophizing and probably need a break from the internet and news for a while. A report nine months before an election is not enough to single-handedly swing it into a landslide in any direction. If it mattered that much to swing voters we would have seen Biden's numbers soaring when the same kinds of reports came out about Trump. It probably hurts Biden in the election to some degree but it'll be on the margins like almost everything else, its not some kind of black swan event that's totally reshaped the political landscape. As for the Project 2025 stuff its designed to scare people/pump up the base. A lot of what its promising is a lot harder than you might think and you might consider why other presidents haven't done it in the last 150 years. Including Trump in 2017.

It's what a big chunk of the media is reporting, irresponsibly, and it's almost certainly what the report writer wanted to imply, but they mostly aren't prosecuting because the evidence was insufficient. I guess it’s somewhat semantic, but the report cites airtight evidence that he did the crime. The decision not to prosecute was based on “aggravating and mitigating factors” - basically, he was transparent about it, returned what he took, and didn’t hinder the investigation.
